The latest addition to my Emergence Collection: "Becoming Fractured."
This piece continues my journey into the tension that exists at the threshold of change - between destruction and creation, between collapse and growth.

Emergence II explores the power of origin and transformation. Hand-built in stoneware, its organic, egg-like form evokes the primal symbolism of creation—something new rising from the remnants of what went before.

Emergence (I) - Emergence is the first in a series of sculptural stoneware ceramic vases that look at ideas of origin and emergence - using an egg like form to symbolise birth from the earth.

Pot of the day - Early Bronze Age Chinese cooking pot. Either Qijia or Xindian culture (approx 1700-1250 BCE).
This example has a rather interesting decoration - I will leave the interpretation up to your own imaginations 🤣

My last post on Substack talked about how our hands make us human. Here’s a sketch I did a while ago - I’ve always been fascinated by hands!

It burnt off in patches, but I love it! Gives it an aged look I think.

Small burnished ceramic vessel.
Homemade clay body - mix of wild local clay and reclaimed commercial buff earthenware clay with small amount of added sand and grog.

I'm experimenting with different ways to create a lava like texture. I've applied a white terra sigillata to a bisque body and brushed on a mix of white vinegar and bicarb. The surface clay has bubbled nicely but will the texture survive being fired?

"Child of the Rock"
A small ceramic sculpture inspired by prehistoric portable art. I have reimagined these ancient artifacts as an abstract cloaked, formless figure that looks like it has been carved out of rock.

Some beautiful examples of 4000 year old pottery found around the north east of Britian - On display at Hull and East Ridings Museum of Archeology.
Simple everyday objects that are just as familiar to us now as they were to neolithic people.

These couple of pieces are made from the wild clay I processed a few weeks ago. The white terra sigillata has a wonderful metalic sheen and looks great against the rough textured surface. So in love with how these turned out! What do you think?

Cavern- ceramic sculpture inspired by the beauty of rock formations found deep inside caves. The internal lava glaze minics the multitude of natural structures carved and built over millennia by the forces of nature.

So pleased with how my lava glaze recipe turned out! Love how it reacts so differently on the two clay bodies I tested.
Might tweak the recipe a but just thrilled it didn’t all run off and end up all over the kiln 😂

Today, the kids and I descended into an underground wonderland full of stalactites, flowstones, rimstone pools, and more! Stump Cross Caverns is an absolute dream for a geology lover like me—every twist and turn revealed another breathtaking formation.
